The right coach in the right situation might be able to turn things around immediately-see Andy Reid in KC, where he already had a roster full of talented players.

But more often than not, losing teams lack the necessary talent to turn things around immediately, no matter who the coach is.

It takes time to accumulate the talent, and it sometimes takes time for the talent to adjust to the scheme, and for the coaches to learn the talent and adjust the scheme accordingly.

Bill Walsh has the term "genius" often attached to his name.  He is, without question, a HOF coach.  But it took him three years to transform the 49ers into champions.

Dick Vermeil was an outstanding coach, but it took him four years to turn the Rams into a Super Bowl team.

Nobody is suggesting at this stage Bradley was a good coach or that there wasn't an argument for firing him after 2015.

But the idea that teams can be microwaved into championship contention simply by having the right coach is folly.
